I have already installed windows 7 ultimate

I have a 500GB hdd in which contains 3 partions and a 87GB free space

at the time of creating the partitions in fedora 14 i am unable to allocate the partitions the left 87gb i tried to select and tried for custom partition but to my surprise it is giving the following message

"Could not allocate requested partitions: not enough free space on disks"

...any help would be much appreciated

daemonix... can you please help me out also for solving the four partition problem.. I have attached the screenshot of disk management in win 7.. I want to use 250 GB space for my Fedora 14 linux on my drive which is D: drive. I want to delete that partition and install Fedora on it and dual boot with win 7...

I have already tried to delete the partition and but it is saying the same problem which you have posted first....

thanks for your help.....
